Title: This is an Emergency Situation for me - Desu!
Post by: Karo Rushe on April 18, 2009, 10:45:14 PM: Yesterday, my computer went and updated herself, and suddenly I found her off.

When I turn her on, she gave an Error that she couldn't start up correctly, regardless, System Restore & using the back-up drive she had didn't fix the problem either, we gave her a memory scan check along, nothing was wrong, yet, she continue to say a binary file had an error and wouldn't start.

*In Kei's desperation and been unable to by-pass Sister's password*
I called my friend to try and fix it, he didn't know what was happening, and he didn't had his Vista at the moment.

Instead, ended up Installing Windows 7 (Test version?), So, umm, the files, pictures & music weren't affected and I could get to them, but Programs doesn't work. and Kei finds it a bad idea to use Windows 7 by when he goes to University, to get for the third time the password for the connection. <sigh>

So, I ask, How can I fix my Vista version, without having to reformat the drive completely & just 'change' the Vista data itself only? (So I can use RPG Maker & Photoshop)

also, I chuckled at referring to your computer as a 'her'.

What sucks is the fact it didn't bring an OS disc of Vista D< (Sony makes me :mad: :mad: :mad: )

I've been saving the whole day my files, burning & such, didn't thought I had that many.

does your computer have a vista sticker on the side somewhere? if so your in good shape. download a copy of vista (same as what you had before) and burn it. either use it to repair vista's install or reformat and install using your legal key

Ti'll i know if it works. (Thou I dunno which version it was. There was no disc when they gave me the Computer. Just papers & the parts, no disc at all)
